That's one of the reasons why I didn't expect it to be announced today. People say next week is too close to AC, but I don't really think it matters.

Nintendo Direct Speculation |OT6| OT7 Has Been Rated in Korea

The last was in September. So we've entered the sixth month w/o a Direct.
thank you for this wise tweet. How foolish of me to anticipate gaming news after a super long drought of it. If not for this tweet, i would have lived my life in endless anticipation.
We've passed the sixth month without a Direct which means we're entering the 7th.
All these people taking the high ground on internet and giving life advice are so pathetic lol.
I barely visit this thread and this topic (maybe once or twice a day) yet I would be very happy to see a direct (or a better, and indie direct). I doubt that many people lose sleep over the absence of direct (or even of lineup) for their console.
In the light of recent developments, "Snarky Option" is gaining steam.
Gee, who wudda thunk?
Gee, who wudda thunk?
How? We had one in September. Then we had
- None in October
- None in November
- None in December
- None in January
- None in February
- None in March, so far
I know this is all about the direct, but to pass the time waiting for this or PS5, I heartily recommend checking out the incredible back catalogs out there. As Nate pointed out, Sayanora Wild Hearts is excellent. Into the Breach is amazing. Outer Wilds is absolutely brilliant.
There are just so many incredibly good games out there and I'm sure you've not played them all yet!

I would, I really would, but IT'S NOT ON THE GODDAMN SWITCH YET UGHHHHHHHHH
It's been around 182 days since the last Direct in September which makes it about 6 months with ~30 days each.
Which are the strong indies that we are expecting in a potential Indie direct? This year seems really sub-par on that regard as compared to 2018 and 2019 which had stuff like Hollow Knight, Celeste, The Touryst, Dead Cells, Katana Zero etc... I know there is Silksong and maybe Cross Code (though I'm not yet sold on that last one). And what else?
I was hoping for Outer Wilds to eventually come, but apprently it's far from being likely.

I guess it's all about semantics then, I see your point.
People getting salty each time someone post a tweet of someone saying "man maybe we're getting a bit too obsessed by those things" will never not be funny to me. How to immediately prove the tweet's point lmao.
Some of you are becoming so aggressive. Just chill. Yeah it's annoying, we want our news, I want my Direct too ! I mean, ain't I here everyday ? But some of you just sound ridiculous. In before someone send to me the "no I will not chill" pic lol, but what I mean is stop being aggressive or sarcastic. Be angry if you want, but do not aim your feelings toward other people.

Yeah, these kind of tweets/post are more annoying than the concern trolling that's going on in these threads. We all post here because we like videogames and it's not like we have anything to talk about other than videogames in here. I want to know what the game line up is period. I don't lose any sleep over it and my life is fine but it would be nice to hear what's coming.
That is the second week, yes.
Anything after the 7th is the second week
No anger on my side. But those tweets are still pretty weird in what theyaim to achieve. I'm pretty sure most people here or on the internet just go on with their life when a direct isn't announced, except maybe those who spent 18 hours a day scouting this thread.
Making a tweet to low key flex how detached your are regarding gaming news on the other hand, is a little bit sad.
It's the same thing with when someone expresses disappointment over the line-up or the lack of news, you get responses like WELL ACTUALLY as if they speak for 50 million Switch owners or own stock in Nintendo. Okay? Obviously when someone says the line-up is disappointing, it is for them and posts like that should be read with a "In my opinion," in front of them. To be honest I find the people disparaging others' opinions with that nonsense of "it will sell x amount of units so Nintendo doesn't care" more annoying than people just voicing their opinions here - how subjective they may be.
I still think a Splatoon spinoff is coming this summer. A great reveal for a March direct to release in July
hey it methe people who post here a bunch but keep trying to make realllllly clear that they don't care, they don't give a shit, it'll come eventually, it's just a commercial, 50 million units, you guys are losers:

Yeah that was a bad post.
It was meant to be directed at people who I thought really overreacted this morning but it came off as targeting the entire thread's existence
Sorry about that

Sorry about that
A few weeks ago people were angry because they weren't hyping up AC. 🤷
Outer Wilds? Yeah I don't think there's any (confirmed) plans of bringing that over. It's on every other platform, though. Highly recommended.
Sadly, I do not have any other platforms. I'm praying that it comes over ASAP.
Annapurna has brought every single game they published to Switch. Only Outer Wilds remains and I believe it's a matter of when.
I'm here because it's the fastest way to get news about that hobby. Forums are in general what replaced my RSS flux when it comes to my topics of interest. I don't like gaming websites, gaming journalists and the gaming culture in general.
On these threads (especially the eshop thread where I'm the most active), I learn about games that I wouldn't otherwise and there are some members (who barely post in this topic) with excellent recommendations.
The way I count it is:
1. Direct in September
2. Never would've happened in October
3. Never would've happened in November
4. Never would've happened in December
5. Could've been Jan maybe
6. Hoped it would've happened in Feb.
In all, I'm basically waiting maybe 2 months now.
I noticed the usual people like Player Essence are using the "Go clear your backlog defense" again.
Extremely annoying and totally missing the point why people like directs.
Realistically speaking, I absolutely agree. I'm not implying I or anyone else has been actively waiting since October.
I felt that game could have been MUCH better. People comparing the worlds and everything to a Bethesda game are crazy. You can tell that it wasn't a AAA title. There was a ton of copy and past stuff throughout the game. I loved it when i first started playing. Then everything started to feel the same and nothing kept me wanting to comeback so i never even finished it. Hopefully now that Microsoft owns them they can get more resources. You can tell its a AA title trying to be AAA title and just kind of falls flat.
Edit: sorry thought you were talking about outer worlds lol
I've seen this mentioned a few times now, but 3rd party games would suffer the same uncertainty and potential delays as 1st party games... it's not just a Nintendo virus.
Not to mention the list could be false.
Not to mention that there's no guarantee any of those games are even in a Direct (not to say they wouldnt be justified inclusions though, they are big enough for sure).
